Annie suddenly felt weak, and tears just started to fall from her eyes.Cody rubbed his forehead, giving the doctor and nurse a look. "Could you guys give us a minute, please?"After the doctor and nurse left, Cody shut the door and stepped in. "How are you holding up?""Not well! I’m doing really badly, Brother. They did this to me! You have to get revenge for me!""Revenge?" Cody let out a harsh laugh. Seeing Annie still not sorry for what she had done made him wonder why he had even made a deal with Sean. "Do you even realize what you've done wrong?""What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything." Annie stared at Cody, shocked. She could not believe that her brother, who always spoiled and loved her, was not taking her side. He was questioning her, even though she was the one who was hurt. "Your sister is so badly hurt, yet you don't think you should get revenge for me?""That's enough!" Cody's voice was sharp as he cut off Annie. "I don't want to fight with you, but what on eart

"I don't know. I just..."Annie was at a loss. She had only wanted to teach that mean girl a lesson. How did Charles get involved?"Okay, you should rest for now. I'll find out more about this. Charles isn't the type to act without reason. If you haven't really crossed him, he won't bother you. But if you're hiding something from me, remember, even I won't be able to protect you."After Cody left, Annie felt like her whole world was spinning. She could not figure out what she had done to upset Charles. However, she knew she had to look out for herself first. Her thoughts flew to Winter, and how Winter's fiance, Xavier, was connected to Charles. Without wasting a moment, she dialed Winter's number.Winter was busy trying on dresses. Emilia had sent a bunch of them a few days back. Two were really pretty, but they did not fit quite right, so Emilia had taken them back to be altered.Checking herself out in the mirror, Winter could not help but smile. Just then, her maid Rose came in

Cody knew something was up, and sure enough, the very next day, the Adams Group got hit hard. Clients were complaining and pulling their money out left and right, and it was a massive blow to the company. Cody was super worried, and the whole Adams family was freaking out. The company's investors were upset too, thinking Cody must have made some big mistake. Right in the middle of all that chaos, Cody found out that someone was buying up all of the Adams Group's stock.The Adams family finally got how serious things were, and Cody realized he had only one move left.Over at Collosus Group, Charles had just stepped out of a meeting when his secretary Becky came up to him. " Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Adams from the Adams Group is here to see you."Charles gave Ronald a quick, sharp look, and Ronald snapped to attention. "Mr. Hoffman, we've bought up a bunch of the Adams Group's stock. We're pretty much the second-biggest shareholder now, so we can totally stand up to Cody's side. It's just t

"Mr. Adams, you haven't been the best brother, have you? There are some people you should get to know, and there are others you should stay away from. I hope you understand what I'm saying!" "I’ve got it!" Cody quickly replied. He was not dumb, he could read between the lines of what Charles was saying. He realized that Winter was not someone to be friends with, and this mess probably had something to do with Winter too. Charles's willingness to meet and his words gave Cody a little hope. "Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Hoffman." "Mr. Adams, I'm not one for wasting words, and I really don't like it when people say one thing and do another," Charles said, putting down his cup. "I can overlook what happened with the Adams Group, and I can forgive your sister's past mistakes. However, I have one condition!" "Please tell me, Mr. Hoffman!" Cody's heart leaped with joy. Charles's words meant he was willing to give the Adams Group another chance. Even though they were barely hanging on,

"Annie, you need to come home!" That was what Cody said the moment Annie picked up the phone. Her heart leaped with worry. "Brother, is it about the Adams Group...""No way. We saved the Adams Group!" Cody cut off Annie's words. "The doctor said you're all better now. So, if you're better, come back home!""But I..." Annie glanced at the scars on her neck, arms, and even her face, feeling wronged. "Brother, it's all Noelle's fault. She's so mean...""Enough!" Cody's voice was sharp and stern as he stopped her. "Are you still blaming Noelle? I found out the truth. You were the one who was jealous and tried to hurt her. Annie, you're not a kid anymore. You need to think before you act.""Brother...""Let's talk when you're home!" Cody hung up, leaving Annie biting her lip and glaring at her phone in anger.When Annie got home, she saw her parents and brother waiting. As soon as her mom saw her, she rushed to help her. "My poor girl. I can't believe what Charles did...""Mom." Cody

Annie could not believe what she was seeing in the papers Cody had handed her. She was shaking all over. "No, this can't be true. Winter is my best frie..." She could not even finish her sentence when she saw the photo of Winter talking to those men in the background.Annie looked up. "Brother, where did you get all this? Winter, she..."Annie and Winter had been best friends for years. Annie always thought she and Winter were on the same team. She did not like how Noelle treated Winter and often played tricks on Noelle behind her back. Annie believed Winter was the type to avoid making a fuss, so she assumed Winter often kept quiet about things.Annie was quick to act and had always idolized the brave heroes in adventure stories. She saw herself as a champion of justice, so she was totally shocked by what the papers said about Winter.Cody looked at his sister, feeling really sad. "I thought you were just a bit too quick-tempered because Mom and Dad spoiled you, making you act out

Charles was still working away in his office when Samuel called to remind him that Winter and Xavier's wedding was just around the corner. Even though Noelle was married to Charles, their relationship was a secret, and Samuel was concerned that the wedding might upset Noelle.Noelle felt Samuel was worrying too much. Winter and Xavier were just regular people to her then, and she would not give them a second thought unless they bothered her.However, Samuel was her elder, and Noelle did not want to be disrespectful by dismissing his concerns.After the call, Noelle made some wheatgrass fruit juice and carried it upstairs to the office.Charles was deep in his work, sorting through papers. When he heard Noelle's soft footsteps, he stopped and looked up at the door.Noelle tried to be as quiet as a mouse, but Charles still noticed her. She stood at the door with a big grin. "How do you always hear me coming?" she asked. Charles just smiled and waved her over. Noelle walked up to h
The Cherished Wife Chapter 323
Noelle noticed Charles's face grow a bit serious after what she had said. She wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her forehead against his, and gave a light tap, chuckling. "Feeling jealous?""What's that?" Charles smiled, tilting Noelle's head back so their foreheads touched, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Noelle, have you ever felt jealous?"Noelle lifted an eyebrow, her mouth curving into a smile. "Nope." She laughed softly, playfully pinching Charles's cheek. "Not at all!"Charles could not help but be entertained by Noelle's playful antics. He watched her busy hands pinch his cheek and let her be. "From what you're saying, maybe I should make you jealous for real!""You wouldn't dare!" Noelle playfully clawed at his face, rubbing it vigorously. "Just you try!"Charles burst into genuine laughter, gently pulling her hands away. "Go on, then!"Noelle looked serious. "I've been thinking. Grandpa is just worried because he hasn't met you and hasn't seen us together. I

Janet lost her mind again, this time without any resistance. Early the next morning, a piercing scream shattered the quiet dawn before the sun had even risen. It came from Janet's room.Since Jace's room was also on the third floor, he was the first to arrive while the rest of the Bakers were still deep in sleep.The woman who had appeared composed and elegant just yesterday now looked completely deranged. Janet shrieked hysterically as her face twisted with madness. It was more terrifying than any of her previous episodes.Jace was surprised by the methods of the young man who had claimed to be a doctor. He had not expected that just a few needles would be enough to push Janet over the edge.He did not approach her. He simply stood there, watching with cold detachment.Soon, the servants arrived, and Milo followed shortly after. It was not long before nearly all the Bakers had gathered. Seeing Janet's crazed state, they did not seem particularly shocked, but their frustration was

Liliana never expected to run into Sean when she visited the babies. She nearly turned on her heel and left, but Sean was not about to let her walk away that easily.The moment he spotted her, Sean reached out and clasped her wrist. "Liliana!"Liliana froze, her eyes darting to Sean's hand on her arm. "Let go!" she demanded through clenched teeth.Sean's hand tensed, and he looked a bit embarrassed. "I... Did you come to see the babies too?" He was at a loss for words and blurted out the first thing that came to mind.Liliana's face went white, but she held back her feelings. "What? I'm not allowed to visit?""No, that's not it, Liliana. You know I didn't mean that. I just..." He wanted to talk to her.Liliana seemed distant as if she were a thousand miles away. Sean struggled to find the right words. “Charles mentioned that you know Saxon?”Hearing that, Liliana turned back around, her icy gaze fixed on Sean. A faint, indifferent smile adorned her lips. "Why do you care?""Lil

"Ms. Holt, Mr. Hoffman and Mrs. Hoffman are at the hospital," a servant informed them."The hospital? What happened?" Linda stood up quickly, but Saxon's piercing gaze made her sit back down. "They're having babies," Saxon said simply and started his meal.Linda was about to say something, but she noticed Saxon did not seem to care. So, she kept quiet.She wondered if something had gone wrong with Noelle's delivery. Remembering what was in that package before, Linda's eyes grew distant. Someone was still trying to hurt Noelle.Linda chewed thoughtfully on a pie as she stared at Saxon. "Did you save Noelle?" she asked.Saxon just gave her a quick look and stayed quiet. Linda figured Noelle was okay then and started to eat her meal with relief.Sean was not feeling so calm. He rushed to the hospital as soon as his plane landed. After learning about Noelle, he visited her first. She had not woken up yet, but Charles assured him that the poison was gone and the babies were born safe

Sean and Linda made it back to Brookville in no time. Linda had just gotten back when Saxon swooped in and picked her up. She had no clue Saxon was there, she had been shouting without a care and did not even know Noelle had already had twins. After saying goodbye to Sean, she rushed straight to Phoenix Tree Residence. However, the first person she ran into was not Noelle or Charles, but her big brother Saxon.Before Linda could even think of running, Saxon had grabbed her by the back of her collar. "Ow, my dear brother, why did you... You're here!”That's what Linda meant to say, but when she looked into Saxon's eyes, which were completely unfeeling and emotionless, she quickly changed her tune, "You have no idea, I've been waiting for you for ages, I thought you didn't want me anymore!""Waiting for me?"Saxon's voice was really nice, like a sweet melody, and most people would be charmed by it, but to Linda, it felt like a spooky echo."Exactly!" Linda nodded like her head was

Sean made a face but finally sat down beside her, even taking a few peanuts from Linda's hand, "What do you have in there, a treasure trove?""It’s none of your business, just get on with the story!""Jace's dad, who is also Charles' uncle, was once deeply in love with Janet's mom when they were both young. However, Janet's mom had a mental illness that ran in her family. After she started dating Jace's dad, she visited the Baker family. No one expected her illness to act up and for her to hurt someone in the family. After that, the Bakers wouldn't let the couple be together. Milo, Jace's dad, ended up marrying Jace's mom and they had Jace. Janet's real mom married another man, but it was a bad situation. She was treated poorly, and one day, she accidentally killed her husband and then took her own life, leaving Janet all alone. That's when Milo brought Janet back to live with the Bakers."Linda's mouth fell open. "Is this like one of those rich family soap operas?" She was young, a

Sean made a tsk, tsk sound. "I don't care about your drama, I'm just here to pass on a message!""And her?" Jace looked at Janet. "What did you guys do to her?""Oh, she's just sick, right? I'm a doctor," Linda said with a carefree tone, even flashing a smile at Jace.However, Linda seemed to have forgotten how scary her face looked earlier, especially to Jace. Even someone as brave as Jace could not help but feel a chill.Jace stepped back without thinking. "Can we talk about this calmly?"Linda made a face. "Am I not being calm?" However, she batted her eyelashes, trying to look adorable. "I'm really a doctor. If you don't believe me, just ask Sean!"Sean's mouth twitched into a forced smile. "Well, if that's all, we'll be on our way!"Sean knew that if there was anyone in the Baker family they still kind of respected, it had to be Jace.Therefore, when Sean had just entered and faced off with Jace, he did it with such boldness because he knew that otherwise, the whole Baker

The medicine was clear and tasteless, and it would disappear after a while. Linda wanted Janet to fall into a deep sleep fast. In no time, she noticed Janet's eyebrows twitch, and then she was out like a light."You're so mean, poking so many holes in people. Well, let's see how you like it," Linda said.She hopped onto the bed, grabbed some silver instruments from her bag, and with quick, sure moves, she stuck them into Janet's body. Janet, fast asleep, did not feel a thing.Linda had always been fascinated by special treatments, even though her family did not want to teach her. She had learned it all on her own, sometimes even practicing with Saxon. Saxon himself said Linda was better at it than he was. In fact, Linda's talent was way better than Saxon's.However, Linda was not done. She felt like she had not had enough fun. She took out another bottle from her bag and popped a pill into Janet's mouth. "This pill? I made it from a virus I got from those dead rats of yours. It mig

"Don't worry, these small fries are no match for me," Linda boasted with confidence. "Even if I can't beat them physically, one poke with my instrument and they'll be begging for mercy!"Sean smirked when he heard that. "Alright, I've already scoped the place out. The first floor is where the servants bunk, so let's not stir them up. The second floor is Milo's and the Baker family head's pad. Janet and Jace are on the third floor — remember, Janet is our mark, so don't mess up the rooms."Sean pointed at the floor plan he had managed to get his hands on.Linda shot Sean an impatient look. "Okay. I'm not a kid, you know!"After stashing their gear, Sean gestured to the side. "You take the southeast approach, and I'll start from this end."With that, they set off on their mission.The guards might have had some fight in them, but to Sean and Linda, they were a walk in the park to deal with, especially in the dead of night when guards were sleepy and dropped their guard.

Liliana bit her lip, "Brother, I...""Don't rush to give me an answer. Think about it. It's late, so you should head back."Liliana nodded, "Okay, I'll go then." She got up, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Brother, your wife is going to be okay!"Charles gave a small smile, "I know." He had always known.Once Liliana was gone, Charles sat down next to Noelle, watching her sleep peacefully. He gently touched her skin.While she had been sick, he might have looked composed and calm, but nobody knew the pain he felt better than he did. He knew he could not let himself worry, especially not in front of Noelle.Yesterday, when he walked into the bedroom and saw Noelle sleeping so deeply, he fought hard to keep his feelings in check. He did not want to lose his composure.Today, all of the poison was finally out of her system, and he felt like he had gotten back something very special that he had lost. He gently stroked Noelle's face and said, "I've waited so long for you. No more
